THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER DO AT YOUR WORK PLACE.

* Never get to talk about your colleagues to fellow colleagues especially what you can't say openly. It has no other word but you being a GOSSIP. Those same people you gossip with are most likely going to tell others what you said and how you are such a bad gossip.

* Avoid lending money or other items from colleagues. Its better to look outside for your financial, fashion and other needs rather than looking for your helpers within the office environment. You always lose respect from colleagues when you take your needs to them.

* Avoid discussing your family, emotional, financial and general problems with colleagues. In the office place, there is always something to be said and the day the office lacks gist, a secret shared with a colleague might just pop-up to be the discussion of that day.

* Never talk evil about your bosses, colleagues and job. The office setting is like a jungle. It is always survival of the fittest. A colleague who is the bosses' enemy today can turn around and seel you out to gain favours from the boss and remain in their good books.

* Never buy things all for the purpose of impressing your colleagues. While you are busy doing fashion competition with your fellow colleagues, always remember that your days to exit their company is drawing near. Either through retirement, retrenchment, resignation or even sack, one day you will have to leave that company. So rather than waste of frivolous items to create a 'fake personality', try to have savings to help you out during raining days.

* Don't always offer to pay for meals and other items for your colleagues when you go outing. Since you all collect salary, then don't make it a point of duty to always pay for colleagues. If you do it consistently just to create a 'nice personality' image, it will be taken personal by colleagues when you try to stop.

* Let your colleagues know your turnoffs. In as much as you should avoid quarrels, confrontation and malice at the office, it is always good to point out to colleagues when they do anything to you that you aren't happy with. Let people know when they are crossing the line of familiarity.

* Never be too dependent on a colleague. If you have a colleague who has a car while you don't have one and go your direction, don't always make it a point of duty to follow them every single day of the week. You get a salary and part of the expenses you need to incur is yours transportation so don't be too miserly. Even though the need to save is understandable, don't make anyone believe they are doing you a huge favour. There's nothing wrong if you decide to take public transport even while your colleague is heading towards your direction. That way they will not only respect you, but also realize you can do without their favours.

* Where and How one finds love is something that can never be predicted. But if you can totally avoid having a relationship or falling inlove with a colleague then the better for you. It saves you from subject of office gossip, uneceassry pressure, fake life, self denial and a lot of other vices associated with dating a colleague at the office.

* Never go telling colleagues the crimes and pranks you pulled on your previous colleagues or boss as it will turn out if same thing happened, even when you weren't the perpetrator, people will suspect you.

* Don't go telling colleagues how much a fellow colleague or boss sucks because you never can tell when they will spill your complaints to the recipients.

* If you are looking for who and where to tell your troubles, your colleagues and work place it definitely not the right place for such. Take your problems and problem solver far away from the office front.

TRUE TALK

Nice post

True

TRUE TALK

is this all you got to say? Why quote the whole topic? Didn't you read it well in the first place? Haba!

In addition, never discuss about your salary with other colleagues. Salaries and remunerations are confidential.

*Laugh make me go organize party for 3rd mainland bridge*

Never ping with your BB when at work.

Good points there. thanks

do the best u can, and avoid unnecessary competition.

yeah man, the office is a real jungle. one has to be wise and operate smart, yet imbibing the spirit of professionalism

Avoid using your work emails/fax/telephone and internet for unofficial and irresponsible communications. Communications equipments are monitored.

Nice piece acidtalk!... All the points stated above are so true. Especially point 1, most office workers are guilty of this. Keep it up bro!

slimming: Never ping with your BB when at work.

Good points there. thanks

So what should we ping with?

I love this. It is very useful advice. The problem is that spending more than 8 hours a day with the same set of people - perhaps more than some people spend with close friends and family - breeds familiarity. It takes effort to put to practise the advice 100%. At the end of the day there will be a co worker you trust and that person will be the person you confide in. While I don't think gossiping about personal lives is good, one still needs an ear to the ground. Office gossip can let you know when you are doing something wrong, or when the company is ready to let people go so you can prepare yourself. I think wisdom and discernment needs to be applied to office (as with other) relationships.

too many repititions of the same points...
Not bad though...

Never outshine your colleague in the presence of your boss as they would tag with the name *ITK*

Op thanks.

slimyem: too many repititions of the same points...

Coming from you can i expect otherwise? the answer is NO!

If you had to quote the whole writeup just to correct on a simple mistake then isn't that more than pathetic?

Always flush the toilet after use. Never leave your ish for others to see.if the flush handle isn't functioning,get the office assistant to get u water,then make sure u notify those in charge of maintenance to fix ASAP!.

Quickies do make a whole lotta sense if you ask me.
Or getting one's d.iick sucke.d while working on ur table,control your emotions though!! Or you may be outrightly caught,or having her use her leg to rub ur balls while having a board meeting!!.
